		window.setSize(800, 600);
		window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		window.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.black);
		window.setLayout(null);
				
		JLabel label = new JLabel();
		label.setBounds(150,50,500,500);

		ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("crusader 378x500.png"));
